Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it’s incredibly lucky if they don’t spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I’m not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn’t any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now

    And the world isn’t just about them? Bit of a selfish argument

    I’m just wanting to opt out, I’m not the one choosing to bring kids that will inevitably scream on an overnight flight where people are going to be trying to sleep. There are plenty of flights where people won’t be trying to sleep.

      So don’t fly. Sometimes we don’t have a choice.

      Flying fucking sucks enough as it is, we definitely need your fragile ass making it worse.

      Grow. Up.

        Cool, that’s a mature reaction, just get angry rather than entertain the idea of considering others.

          Ironically, that’s exactly how this post started…

          What next? A flight for whites-only as you don’t want to sit next to someone who doesn’t look like you?

            Gonna ignore the wild slippery slope fallacy you just pulled up there.

            I didn’t say they need to fuck off and not fly, like the other guy. I just would go for an option where I have a better chance of sleeping. There are plenty of other adult-only spaces that are entirely not controversial, why not a handful of flights?
